Hopper Extrusion Controller

Engineered as part of the SWIFT true weigh gravimetric extrusion control system, the true weigh hopper measures the mass flow of material into the extrusion process and sends this loss in weight information to the true weigh controller. The controller then accurately monitors or adjusts the extruder screw and / or haul off speed to maintain consistent yield control. This enables an operator to run a uniform product within the tightest tolerances at the lowest possible cost.
